--047d7b6d7d8a2dcf7604dc73de56 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Courtesy of Nelson Poirier This Week's Sky at a Glance Some night sky sights for May 10 =96 18 Three 0 magnitude stars shine after dark in May: Arcturus high in the southeast sometimes called the =91Spring Star=92, Vega much lower in the northeast, and Capella in the northwest. On Saturday, May 18, the moon will go into its First Quarter Phase meaning it will rise at noon and set at midnight. On Saturday, May 11, the sun rose at 5:52 a.m. and will set at 8:39 p.m. giving 14 hours 47minutes of daylight hours. On Saturday, May 18, the sun will rise at 5:44 a.m. and set at 8:48 p.m. to give 15 hours 4 minutes of daylight hours (These values are for Moncton, New Brunswick). This Week's Planet Roundup Mercury is hidden in the glare of the Sun. Venus (magnitude =963.9) is beginning an evening apparition that will continue the rest of this year. Look about 20 minutes after sunset just above the west-northwest horizon (well to the lower right of Jupiter). And watch as Venus and Jupiter draw together this month, by 1=B0 per day. They're 18=B0 apart on May 10th and 11=B0 on the 17th. Their conjunction co= mes on the 28th, when they'll be a close, 1=B0 couple =97 with Mercury right alongside. Mars remains hidden in the glare of the Sun. Jupiter (magnitude =962.0) is the first =91star=92 to come out in the west = after sunset, a little lower every day. It sets around the end of twilight. Much farther to Jupiter's upper right is bright Capella. Saturn (magnitude +0.2) is two weeks past opposition and climbing higher in the evening sky. It glows low in the southeast after nightfall (lower left of Spica and farther lower right of Arcturus), and is highest in the south around midnight. Use your birding scope to see the rings around Saturn. --047d7b6d7d8a2dcf7604dc73de56 Content-Type: text/html; charset=windows-1252 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <font size=3D"4"><font face=3D"tahoma,sans-serif"><div style=3D"line-height= :1;margin-top:7.5pt;margin-bottom:3.75pt" dir=3D"ltr" id=3D"docs-internal-g= uid-10e5292b-946f-6646-7e7f-1cbac6587ab2"><span style=3D"color:rgb(51,85,15= 3);font-family:Georgia;font-size:20px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal= ;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;background-c= olor:transparent">Courtesy of Nelson Poirier</span></div> <div style=3D"line-height:1;margin-top:7.5pt;margin-bottom:3.75pt" dir=3D"l= tr"><span style=3D"color:rgb(51,85,153);font-family:Georgia;font-size:20px;= font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none= ;vertical-align:baseline;background-color:transparent">This Week's Sky = at a Glance</span><span style=3D"color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Calibri;font-= size:20px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;text-dec= oration:none;vertical-align:baseline;background-color:transparent"></span><= /div> <p style=3D"line-height:1;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:7.5pt" dir=3D"ltr"><= span style=3D"color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;font-style:= italic;font-variant:normal;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none;vertical-a= lign:baseline;background-color:transparent">Some night sky sights for May 1= 0 =96 18</span><br> <span style=3D"color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Calibri;font-size:20px;font-sty= le:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;verti= cal-align:baseline;background-color:transparent"></span></p><div style=3D"l= ine-height:1.3;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt" dir=3D"ltr"> <span style=3D"color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Times New Roman";fon= t-size:20px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;text-d= ecoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;background-color:transparent">Three = 0 magnitude stars shine after dark in May: Arcturus high in the southeast s= ometimes called the =91Spring Star=92, Vega much lower in the northeast, an= d Capella in the northwest. </span></div> <div style=3D"line-height:1.3;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt" dir=3D"ltr"= ><span style=3D"color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Times New Roman";fo= nt-size:20px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;text-= decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;background-color:transparent"></spa= n>=A0</div> <p style=3D"line-height:1.3;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt" dir=3D"ltr"><= span style=3D"color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Times New Roman";font= -size:20px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;text-de= coration:none;vertical-align:baseline;background-color:transparent">On Satu= rday, May 18, the moon will go into its First Quarter Phase meaning it will= rise at noon and set at midnight.</span><span style=3D"color:rgb(0,0,0);fo= nt-family:Calibri;font-size:20px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font= -weight:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;background-colo= r:transparent"></span></p> <br><span style=3D"color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Calibri;font-size:19px;font= -style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;v= ertical-align:baseline;background-color:transparent"></span><p style=3D"lin= e-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:10pt" dir=3D"ltr"> <span style=3D"color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Calibri;font-size:19px;font-sty= le:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;verti= cal-align:baseline;background-color:transparent">On Saturday, May 11, the s= un rose at 5:52 a.m. and will set at 8:39 p.m. giving 14 hours 47minutes of= daylight hours.
